Wruak?

Is the second day of classes too soon to second guess your ability to handle graduate school? Especially since 3 of the 4 classes are taken with undergrads so are technically easier than other classes? Wow, I must confess to being overwhelmed and wondering how I will be able to do all of this in the short period of time that I am allocating for this degree. Perhaps it would be easier if I had some academic knowledge of ESL but I don't. I have practical knowledge but that isn't going to do me a lot of good in most of these classes.

Plus, I'm beginning to suspect that I know nothing about writing a good paper. I rarely used journals for my BA and I'm pretty sure that I used them incorrectly. I feel like such an idiot compared to some of the other students in the class. On a side note, they all seem to be very helpful and we even had a group study thing this afternoon.

And to further expound on the niceness of my fellow grad students, they all have done things with their lives that make them pretty interesting. There are only 6 of us that are first years but half are foreign (China, India but with Tibetan roots, Yugoslavia). The other 3 (myself included) have all done a decent amount of travel and living abroad. AND I have an invitation to visit Siyan's home in Sichuan. I might just have to take her up on that at some point. I don't know when but I am rambling on about traveling again and I really need to stop that.

In conclusion, things are going well but I am overwhelmed and have a feeling that I will be for some time. I wish to do well and to earn the regard of my professors but am thinking that I will have to make an idiot out of myself first.
